That which not kills you it becomes you stronger (harder).


There is a second version which uses ostarbuil = "harder" instead of "stronger" which I also like. I.e. your outer shell becomes harder.

A literal translation for "to make someone + adjective" doesn't really exist, but the verb for "to become" is used in this case. Maybe similar to the usage of "to get" in English?
